Best Answer

I think you're asking what it is to download copyright-protected content.

Copyright law gives the creator of a work certain exclusive rights. Among these are the right to copy, and the right to distribute. Uploading a work infringes the rightsholder's right to distribute the work, and downloading it infringes his right to copy it.
